Image	Title	Item Description
JSS0774	Cover image from the Cairngorm Series	This image was used for each of the nine issues in the Cairngorm Series. Cheap and affordable (one shilling each), the music was arranged for solo piano or for violin with piano accompaniment.
JSS0775	Cover image, Johnnie Walker	This is one of Skinner's later publications, giving his address as 25 Victoria Street, Aberdeen. It was the first issue in the Bon-Accord Edition. This edition was printed by the Aberdeen firm, Taylor & Henderson, who had worked for Skinner in the past.
JSS0776	Cover image, Monikie Series	This image of the irascible old gentleman, Skinner, was used in the Monikie Series. The music was invariably arranged for violin or piano. This photo of Skinner was also used in other sheet music series (JSS0777).
JSS0777	Cover image, Two Airs for Violin and Piano	This image of Skinner was used in more than one series of sheet music (see JSS0776) published in the 1920s.
JSS0779	Preface, The Logie Collection of Original Music	Rather than write his own preface, Skinner here has used a commentary sent to him by 'a friend'. He notes that this commentary sums up his own feelings about Scottish music. In the final paragraph, the friend praises Skinner's own music.
JSS0780	Introduction, The Logie Collection of Original Music	In place of an introduction to the Logie Collection, Skinner has used a letter sent to him by Professor John Stuart Blackie, the first professor of Celtic at Edinburgh University. Blackie had at one time taught at Marischal College, Aberdeen. Blackie praises Skinner and his music. Skinner composed 'The Celtic Chair' in honour of Blackie.
JSS0781	Page 1 of 2, Contents, The Logie Collection of Original Music	Skinner has included a large number of songs in The Logie Collection. He has also incorporated a fair number of tunes in the bagpipe idiom - an idiom in which he became more and more skilled.
JSS0782	Page 2 of 2, Contents, The Logie Collection of Original Music	This contents page demonstrates that the bulk of the Logie Collection comprises of dance music.
JSS0783	Title page, The Logie Collection of Original Music	In true late Victorian style, there is a fair amount of fine, ornate design around the lettering. It is interesting to note that not only could the Logie Collection be obtained in 'Fine Clan Tartan Covers', but also that no less than three different publishers are mentioned at the foot of the page.
JSS0784	The Maid o' Logie	The words to The Maid o' Logie are by Skinner's good friend, Gramin, G G Ingram, a journalist from Huntly.
